Liam Payne’s ex and the father of his child Cheryl Cole has broken her silence following his tragic death on Wednesday.
She gave a stern warning to fans as she reminded them their son “will never see his father again”.
Taking to Instagram, she penned: “I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.
“Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a ear friend and a father to our seven year old son.
“A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.”
She shared a touching snap of Payne snuggled in bed with Bear, now seven, when he was a baby.
The full heartbreaking statement reads: “As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.
“Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son.
“A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.
“What is troubling my spirit the most is that one day Bear will have access to the abhorrent reports and media exploitation we have seen in the past two days.
“It is breaking my heart further that I cannot protect him from that in his future.
“I am begging you to consider what use some of these reports are serving, other than to cause further harm to everyone left behind picking up the pieces.
“Before you leave comments or make videos, ask yourself if you would like your own child or family to read them.
“Please give Lia the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death to rest in some peace at last. Thank you, Cheryl.”
